•24 Aug 2012Anubis is a protective measure implemented by the administrator of this website to safeguard against AI companies aggressively scraping its resources, which can lead to downtime and inaccessibility for all users. It employs a Proof-of-Work scheme similar to Hashcash to make individual loads ignorable but collectively expensive for mass scrapers. Anubis aims to allow more time for developing advanced methods to identify and differentiate between legitimate users and bots, such as analyzing headless browser font rendering. It's important to note that Anubis relies on modern JavaScript features, which can be disabled by plugins like JShelter, thus requiring users to disable such plugins for this domain.
